Kick Ass DVD
“Tool up hunny bunny” as costume vigilante and crime fighting Kick-Ass is released on Blu-ray and DVD on 6 September 2010.
Needing little in the way of an introduction, and with an all-star cast including Nicolas Cage and Aaron Johnson, Kick-Ass is relentless, jaw dropping and now a must own Blu-ray and DVD with special edition versions for super fans.
Kick-Ass features an action-packed cast of super powered talent including Nicolas ‘Big Daddy’ Cage (Gone In 60 Seconds, Face/Off), the ultimate mob boss baddie Mark Strong (Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes) and Christopher ‘Red Mist’ Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, Role Models).
Leading the gang is rising star Aaron ‘Kick-Ass’ Johnson (Nowhere Boy) and introducing the fiery Chloë ‘Hit Girl’ Grace Moretz, KICK-ASS is undoubtedly one of the smartest and most anarchic comic book adaptations in years.
Co-written by the team behind Stardust Matthew Vaughn (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) and Jane Goldman (X-Men: First Class), Kick-Ass is based on the brilliant Marvel comic book from the highest selling comic book writers in America for the past decade – Mark Millar (Spiderman, Wanted) and John S.Romita JR (The Amazing Spiderman, Captain America).
Matthew Vaughan also expertly directs the film, which generated so much critical acclaim, hype and controversy on its explosive release.
When Dave Lizewski (Johnson), ordinary New York teenager and rabid comic-book geek dons a green-and-yellow internet bought wet suit to become the no-nonsense vigilante Kick-Ass, he soon overcomes all the odds and quickly becomes a phenomenon, capturing the imagination of the public.
However, he’s not the only superhero out there – the fearless and highly-trained father/daughter crime-fighting duo Big Daddy and Hit Girl have been slowly but surely taking down the criminal empire of local Mafioso Frank D’Amico.
As Kick-Ass gets drawn into their no-holds barred world of bullets and bloodletting with Frank’s son Chris, now reborn as Kick-Ass’s arch-nemesis Red Mist, the stage is set for a final showdown between the forces of good and evil. The DIY hero will have to live up to his name…or die trying.
With a rocking soundtrack throughout, Kick-Ass is fully loaded with amazing bonus content including an ‘audio commentary by Matthew Vaughn’, ‘the making of Kick-Ass’ and a bright and colorful look at the ‘the art of Kick-Ass’.
For the diehard fan, a Limited Edition Collector’s Boxset contains the Blu-ray, full graphic novel, Big Daddy and Hit Girl art cards, exclusive print designed by John S.Romita JR and an introduction from Mark Millar, whilst the Combi Steelbook Pack (Blu-ray & DVD) will look good on any shelf.
Make like a superhero and Kick-Ass when it’s released on BD and DVD on 6 September 2010.
